Ok, don't throw me into the same basket for the believers of conspiracy theories.

I believe Earth is NOT flat. I don't believe there are aliens in Area 51.

But this question is factually not very convincing and it is, did we actually land on moon in 1969.

There are many compelling evidences, facts etc that proves that indeed we landed on moon.

But even in 21st century where there an accident with Kalpana Chawla who merely went to space and came back, it sounds too good to be true that in 1969, we landed on the moon which is around 300000 kms or 186000 miles from the Earth with those time of technologies and successfully came back. Remember, the first apple computer was launched in 1976....

I have come across few stories that say that indeed the landing on the moon in 1969 by USA was a hoax and there are hypothesis to support the same. It was supposedly done by USA during the cold war to prove its technological superiority over USSR....

You mean, all six US manned lunar landings were hoaxes?

Your bringing up the first Apple computer is interesting. Many, many computers existed at that time, but not in the shape and fashion of the Apple. The Apollo flight computer was built from scratch, and certainly in design, shape and fashion is the grandfather of the Apple computer.

There's a more likely possibility than your suggestion that Apollo was a stunt to show tech superiority, which is that we were able to do it BECAUSE OF OUR TECHNOLOGICAL SUPERIORITY. The Soviet moon rocket N1 had four catastrophic failures in a row ... then they gave up .... The Soviets showed to the entire world, their technological INFERIORITY.

The Saturn rocket used by the US never had a failure.
